Re: 0411629 seat back lock bar

Thank you so much. Turns out it is the same one that is used on the 140 also and I found a guy that might sell me his pins. We will see.
Thank you again

0411629 seat back lock bar

Does anyone have a seat of lock bars for the Cessna 170 B. Cessna PN 0411629. The rear seat that came with my project is the later style that uses more of an arm with slots in it. The airframe is set up to just have the bent arm on the back seat. The bar is in the shape of like an S. If I could figu...

So your 55 was G or Turquoise, and the upholstery scheme was 3 or Blue & Gray and the interior trim colors CE where Trooper Tan and Yosemite Blue.
Thank you.

Re: Restoration for resale

... I don't want to waist money either. Please give me your thoughts. Thanks Ben Waist money -- now there's a double entendre I can relate to! It's money spent at the Cold Stone ice cream shop! :wink: Check out this thread for further pictures of the '56 paint scheme. Also note that those same colo...

Re: Restoration for resale

Thank you GAhorn. I meant to say the ruder pedal block tube bushings. Those plastic ones that act like a clam shell. They are less than $10.00 ea and now was the time to put a new one in.

Re: rudder and elevator skins

Thanks, I ordered all the skins form Karl, one of the rudder top skins from Preferred airparts. Still trying to find the 0333000-3m LH rudder top skin. I called R.J. he did not have in but said he could make one in a pinch if need be.
